Ep 184 Emotions Aren’t the Enemy: Turn Your Chaos into Clarity
Manage episode 483874859 series 2939942
When your emotions are all over the place, it’s easy to fall for everything and anything. You’re easy to manipulate.
On some level you know this, so you tuck those damn emotions aside, ignore them or try to control them - which only makes things worse. They come out at the most inopportune times.
Sound familiar?
The truth is, emotions are not a flaw to be overcome, they are one of the amazing gifts of being human. They are literally energy in motion, and as such, not only feed us, but are also a powerful path to healing what ails us.
Working with (instead of stuffing, ignoring or controlling) emotions gives you space to listen and to respond rather than just react. It engenders clarity and empowers healthy decisions. It calms the nervous systems and decreases stress.
This is an essential skill for all of us right now for what it can heal - individually, and collectively.
“If we don't feel, we don't heal.” ~Stephanie J. Allen
There is a negative feedback loop running - thoughts and fears and emotions that fester and create inner AND outer toxicity. The good news is that we are the antidote.
It’s a choice inside each one of us.
In today’s podcast, Stephanie and Maren share stories, inspiration and tangible tools to help you shift your internal relationship with emotions so you become your own cure, as well as a kind of “healthy virus” in the world, infecting the people around you in the best, most beautiful way.
When you work inside, it changes, both the internal AND the external. You impact the world around you just by being who you are.
Are you ready to explore emotions differently and find your inner treasure so that you can live it and share it with those you love and with the world?
Listen in and let’s make some shift happen.
